Common questions

How many questions are on the US citizenship test?

The 2025 version has a pool of 128 official questions. At the interview the officer asks up to 20, and you must answer 12 correctly. The older 2008 version uses 100 questions, with up to 10 asked and 6 to pass.

Which version of the test do I take?

It depends on your Form N-400 filing date: on or after October 20, 2025 means the 128-question version; before that date means the 100-question version. Your filing receipt shows the date.

Can I take the test in my own language?

The test is in English for most applicants. If you are 65 or older with 20+ years as a permanent resident (or qualify for 50/20 or 55/15 exemptions), you may take the civics test in your language with an interpreter.

What happens if I fail?

You get a second chance. USCIS will reschedule you to retake the failed portion, usually 60–90 days after the first interview. Failing twice means your application is denied, but you can apply again.
